Men Who Provide Their Monuments,

Neic York Letter to Boston Globe.
The tallest monument in New York
State and, in all probability, in the coun-
try is that which marks the grave of Gen.
John E. Wool, at Troy, n. Y. The
famous General left 100000 in his will
for the monument. 1t is plain granite
shaft which rises in tapering grandeur
far above the surrounding trees and can
be seen for miles in any direction. Long
John Wentworth is now erecting mon
ument to himself in a Chicago cemetery
which will cost him 49,, 900.

LITTLE jim.
BY GEORGE X. SIMS.

Our little Jim
Was such limb
His mother scarce could mango him.
His eyes were blue,
And looked you through,
And seemed to say.
''Pll have my way"
His age was six,
His Saucy tricks
But made you smile,
Though all the while
You said, You limb,
You wicked Jim,
Be quiet, dol"
Poor little jim!
Our eyes are dim
When soft and low re speak of him.
No clatt'ring shoe
Goes running through
The silent room,
Now wrapped in loom,
So still he lies,
With tast-shut eyes,
No need to say,
Alas! to-day,
"You little limb,
You baby jim,
Be quiet, do"

Doing His Duty.

From the Youths Companion.
Every one has heard of the tithing-
man whose business it is to keep order in
the meeting house, but few of our read
ers ever saw him. Nowadays no one is
supposed to need watching in such a
place, partly because the children too
generally stay at home, perhaps, and
partly because many things are now
looked upon as quite innocent which for
merly would have been accounted sacre-
ligious.
Here is an anecdote which illustrates
how, in the olden time, one tithing man
at least magnitied his office. General
H was the great man OF the town. His
daughters we're sent to Boston to be edu-
Gated, and one of them came home with
a Boston lover, who is now a merchant
it New York city. He went to church
with her.
But Boston manners and New England
country manners and ideas were not
the same. When the hymn was given
out, Mr.. R. found it, and handed the
book to Miss H; she bowed. and took
it. Second hymn, the same. The old
| tithing man looked and frowned. but did
not quite like to offend General H. But
he thought 1t over and over. and his con-
science accused him OF being ''res pee
ter" of persons, and that he thought a
very fearful sin.
Therefore, he took his seat in the after
noon resolved to do his auty fearlessly,
whatever might be the result to him.
The hymn was given out. MIR. R found
it, and handed the book to Miss H;
she bowed and took it.
Rap, rap, rap, went the old mans
stick. Then pointing to General H-'s
pew, You, you'll mean General HIS
gal and her Boston beau! None of your
carvings on here, say"

A Matrimonial Epidemic.

Mr.. Howard w. Mills, after an
active struggle in the battle of life in
Los Angeles, has met with such sue
cess that he feels like dividing his
substance with an estimable lady, now
in Chicago, former resident of Los
Angeles. There has been a strange
matrimonial epidemic in the office OF
pomerov & Mills during the past
year. William Niles was one OF the
first victims, his brother, John b.
Niles, fell another victim; A. B. Clapp
was still third victim, and then the
genial II. G. Gates entered the golden
gates of matrimony, leaving only Mr..
Mills, who felt like one who treads
alone some banquet hall deserted"
To add to the loneliness OF Mr.:
Mills, his only daughter was married
a few weeks since, and her young
lady 1mpanions have also married
recently, so there appeared no other
way for the last unmarried person In
the circle except to get married him.
self, which he will proceed to do. MIR,
Mills has taken the wise course OF
building a fine house, on Olive street,
between third and Fourth streets, for
his accomplished bride, whose name
will appear in the HERALD in due
season.

THE Fair.

The exhibition yesterday at the
Pavilion was very fine, but the attend
ance was limited. Great dissatisfaction
is expressed at the lack of street cars
at night to take the people home. The
people in the north part OF the city
have to walk home as no cars pass at
the proper time to convey them to
their various points of destination.
Among the notable displays is that
of A. J. Stewart OF Orange, who has
wrought out curious assortment OF
domestic implements from native
woods, embracing thirty-seven varie
ties of California woods that are very
fine specimens of cunning handi-
work.
The flower display of Mrs. Louise
T. Carey is deserving of honorable
mention.
The Southern Ledge Stone Com
pany, of Los Angeles, makes good
exhibit of sandstone, cut in fashion OF
building stone. The display is made
by Bower & Kelly.
Studebaker makes an excellent dis
play of buggies and carriages.
All the large banana plants are
from the highland home of J. w.
Potts, of this city.
T.. Pollard, of Alhambra, has added
to the fine Alhambra display some
fine peaches, lemons and oranges.
The Alhambra fruit is nearly all
grown without irrigation.
The display of needle-work is very
small, but good as far as it goes.
What can be the reason that the
ladies do not turn out and fill up the
Art Gallery?
The w. G. 7. Union occupy the
basement for an ice creamery, but
their patronage is very small, on ac-

Crescenta Canada attracts great atten-
ton. For sudden collection which
the General was obliged to make on
the briefest OF notice he is second to

the source of the wealth of Southern

glory, should go and see the fruit ex-
